Joe Cannon: MormonTimes.com: The gospel in words: "yield"

"Yield" comes from the root "to pay" or "to surrender." The printout of the Oxford English Dictionary's definition of yield runs 26 pages. Though the word yield is rarely used in scripture, the concept is used in three important ways, which we will discuss here.

The first is to surrender, submit, give way, give up or relinquish possession of  to give one's self up, to be dedicated or devoted to.
